Matter of fact I ordered five boxes of Brenneke 2 3/4” to shoot in it today .
Now I'm getting excited!!! Do post your results!

After those pics I scrutinized the barrel a bit more and got out a piece of 000 steel wool and a bottle of Hoppe's and lightly cleaned the outside . I a bit of crud in a few spots you wouldn't initially see . Also let the buffing wheel lightly touch some discoloration on the unblued part of the barrel that goes inside the reciever . I suppose before I give up chasing the Man Eating Virginia Whitetail I need to lay the smack down on one with a slug from the A-5 20 Mag and possibly another from the A-5 12 Mag . Just so happens both are in my possesion as we speak . Slug barrels for both I might add !
